Bengaluru FC's AFC Champions League 2017 dream came to an end after losing narrowly to Jordan's Al-Wehdat SC in the Preliminary Stage 2 one legged tie. Ahmad Maher Wridat(48th) and Faisal Mohammad Seif(65th) scored for the home side while Sunil Chhetri(68th) scored the only goals for Bengaluru FC.

Al-Wehdat will travel to Abu Dhabi to face Al Wahada of UAE for a spot in the group stages of the prestigious AFC Champions League.
